COVID-19 hits Caloocan Rep. Erice, members of his staff
MANILA, Philippines — Caloocan Rep. Edgar Erice on Sunday said that he, along with some of his staff, tested positive for coronavirus disease.
“After 8 days in quarantine, I have tested positive of COVID. We will have to temporarily close our district office due to the numerous cases among my staff members. I have very mild symptoms so nothing to worry,” he said in a Facebook post on Sunday.
“God’s grace shall bear us out of this pandemic. You can still message me though if you think I can do something for you, my beloved constituents,” Erice added.

Erice is the latest lawmaker to announce his COVID-19 test, following the recent announcements of Majority Leader Martin Romualdez, Anakalusugan party-list Rep. Mike Defensor, and Negros Oriental Rep. Jocelyn Sy Limkaichong, and other lawmakers at the House of Representatives who contracted the disease.
It would be recalled, Senior Citizens party-list Rep. Francisco Datol Jr., and Sorsogon Rep. Ditas Ramos died last year after testing positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19.
